That is, for a connection between a TFTPclient and a TFTP server, if you specify the source interface/source IP address only used for theconnection this time, and the specified source interface/source IP address is different from thefixed one, the former will be used for the connection this time.z You may specify only one source interface or source IP address for the TFTP client at one time.That is, only one of the commands tftp source-interface and tftp source-ip can be effective atone time. If both commands are configured, the one configured later will overwrite the original one.TFTP Configuration ExampleNetwork requirementsA switch operates as a TFTP client and a PC as the TFTP server. The application named switch.bin isstored on the PC. Download it (switch.bin) to the switch through TFTP, and use the boot boot-loadercommand to specify switch.bin as the application for next startup. Reboot the switch to upload theconfiguration file named config.cfg to the work directory on the PC to back up the configuration file.z The TFTP working directory is configured on the TFTP server.z Configure the IP addresses of a VLAN interface on the switch and the PC as 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2respectively. The port through which the switch connects with the PC belongs to the VLAN.
